Wolf Pack Puppy Pounce

While exploring the Idaho wilderness, wolf biologist Isaac Babcock and crew encountered a surprising sight: wolf cubs playing near the trail. You can see more wolf activity on “River of No Return,” which premieres on PBS Wednesday, April 18. (Look sharp for puppy pounce action at 0:47!)

uh, Mr. & Mrs. Wolfs–I am honest, hardworking, and have an H.S. diploma, PLUS a BA in lycanthropathy. I believe I am the best person to watch your children when you are flayling away in the wild to bring back sustenance. I will plan hours of activities (mostly involving romping) to keep your wolflings “ahead of the pack” (pun not intended) in their own puppeh foray into nature.

Reminds me of one of my favorite stories from the recent movie version of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe: they used dogs for the scene where Fenris Ulf and company visit the Beavers’ house, but they had to scrub out and replace the tails on film. Puppers were wagging too hard and didn’t look scary enough.

Excuse me, Mr and Mrs Wolfs, I am all of the above, and I can GUARANTEE your cubbies’ will score off the charts in Math and Verbal, all attend and graduate the colleges of their choices, and support you in style in your golden lupine years. 😛

Funny, as you see, these guys’ tails are wagging insanely! But even dogs that look like wolves– e.g. German shepherds, sled dogs– carry their tails differently than wolves, and you don’t see the curly tail in wolves that many dogs have.

My collie cross just went beserk while I was watching this second vid – obvy heard the wolf chatter and decided to join in. Actually he goes a bit loopy when he hears various sounds from Qte postings 🙂

PS: I REALLY did cut/ paste here, from the American Heritage online and DID NOT add in the bit in definition #2 ….. TRULY HAND on that religious buk the above is ONLY cut/ paste directly of its text ….

😆 French, I’ve watched a LOT of Chinese movies in the original Cantonese or Mandarin but I don’t read Chinese. English subtitles to Chinese movies that are done in Taiwan or Hong Kong are sometime incomprehensible and often extremely funny.

In the old days, this is how you got a new puppy for your family. Just find a family like this who’ve been left alone like this, and kidnap as many dogs as you want! I’m glad we don’t do that anymore, it’s gotta be sad for Mom.
